摘要:The article will survey maps-icons of Jerusalem and the Holy Land that were drawn and painted over the course of the seventeenth and eighteenth century in the Greek- Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem. These images were included in various genres of ecclesiastical art: icons painted on wood; icons on canvas, and small manuscript booklets, known as “proskynetaria”. They were drawn in traditional iconic style and offer expressly spatial representations of sacred places in Jerusalem and the Holy Land. These images were part of religious memorabilia sold to pilgrims in Jerusalem and their makers, artists-cummonks endeavored to cultivate and disseminate the Orthodox image of the Holy Land.
